After installing the 10-April-2005 nightly, I notice that I have duplicate plugins listed and ticked:

SHOUTcast Internet Radio
Slim Devices Picks
Radioio.com

I have two SHOUTcast Internet Radio plugin settings sections on the Plugins page, and two on the "Internet Radio" page too.

I can see items for these radio plugins in the drop-down browse method list in the fishbone skin - this will be great when it's all finished! I'm curious about the "podcast browser" plugin that seems to have been added though - is this accessible anywhere in the interface yet?

The Windows build script does not seem to remove files. Those plugins have
been moved to their own folders. The original files can be removed.

This is an issue with the 6.1 Windows build: I have added web interfaces
to those plugins, they therefore moved to their own subfolders. But the
original files have not been removed. I hope this will soon be fixed.

What's missing? I'm still working on Shoutcast (mainly memory
optimisations), but they should work.

Also Live365 seems to have its own subfolder now, but it seems that the live365.pm in plugins folder is still required. I've removed the other original files and restarted slimserver.

Shoutcast, SimDevices Picks, and RadioIO seem to work; I can't see anything for Live365 though. The items aren't in any particular order in the browse drop-down list (or the plugins list).

The interface to the plugins - there is still a duplicate Shoutcast preference panel (appears in Plugins and Internet Radio prefs pages).

I have a question about the Shoutcast prefs. Does the "Number of Streams" preference apply to browsing through both the Web Interface and SB? I thought the reason for cutting back the number of streams was because it would be tiresome to browse through the SB, but through the web interface, it's perhaps better that this restriction doesn't apply?

Thanks,
Phil

I just installed the latest nightly on my Windows machine and I did not
have the double entries. What release did you use?

This is strange as I don't have that Live365 folder nor did I touch the
Live365 plugin, yet (I first want to finish ShoutcastBrowser).

I haven't touched Live365, yet. Picks and RadioIO were pretty straight
forward. I'm still working on Shoutcast, mainly memory optimisation and
integration of the "recently played" feature into the web interface.

This is by design (I guess).

It's the number of streams that's requested from Shoutcast's server. I
guess it was originally meant to prevent timeouts while downloading the
list. Limiting the number of streams won't considerably limit the number
of menu entries as it's sorted into genres.

SlimServer_v2005-04-09.exe, but currently running in a console with "perl slimserver.pl".

I frequently install the latest nightly straight over the top - perhaps its something left over from ages ago.

Live365.pm used to also require Live365/Live365API.pm. at some point they were
merged into a single Live365.pm. It should be harmless.

Phil,

The Podcast Browser does not have any real web UI. Just a configuration form under server settings -> plugins. No doubt it should have something more...

I started a new thread to discuss it: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=35133
